Important Data A Paper for the National

WASHINGTON, u. O., March %
Captain Clarence f.. button, chief OF
the Bureau of Volcanic Geology OF the
Geological Survey Office, viii read @
paper at the next meeting of the Ma
tionsl Academy, which takes place the
third week in April, embodying the re-
suits Of the STUDY OF M immense mass
of data upon tie Charleston earthquake.
He does not propose going beyond
we'll proven is,;s AZ to the nature, orr
Gin, and influence OF seismic phenome-
ne. but he believes that the ma
tcrial in hand viii, when fully
worked up, odd much to the
mass OF human knowledge regarding
the fociy of the disturbances, the rate
of motion of tire Garth waves, and kin-
dred points OF scientific interest, and
that il will bc especially valuable in
suggestions for observations and the
study of future phenomena. The adj
vance made latterly in respect 10 a
knowledge Of earthquake phenome-
ma may be illustrated by single
point. The recorded rate of the motion
Of the earthquakes OF history varies
from 800 to 800 miles per. second. The
data upon the Charleston disturbance
proves conclusively that its earth-waves
travelled between 4,000 and 5000 miles
second, while French journals at
hand containing observations upon the
rivera shocks give rates almost as high.
II is not TO he supposed that modern
earthquakes are more energetic than
their predecessors. but it is certain that
modern methods and opportunities give
saier results.

ports that Sunday morning Benjamin
Mobbs was found dead and hanging in

clusion, but an investigation disclosed
a robbery, and the conclusion now is
that the thieves hung Mobbs up and
let him down partially choked until he
revealed the hiding-place of his money
and yaluables. of which he was known
to have considerable, and that they
then hung him up again and left him
while they secured the booty. No clue
to the perpetrators. The time that had
elapsed after death before the discovery
of the robbery has given the criminals
ample time to escape.
